What did you do to your Ranger today?

[tentspast]

Installed some replacement LED fog lamps from Stedi. Also their high power reverse light bulbs. They are bright!

I'm a bit behind on updates, but over the past week since getting my Ranger, I've added a console organizer, a tailgate damper, adhesive letters on the tailgate, and WeatherTech mudflaps. I've got a Truxedo Deuce bed cover sitting in the garage, but I'm gonna hold off on that until I get my Line-X bedliner sprayed on i a couple of weeks. Still considering a bed extender and/or running boards, but very happy with the changes so far!

Purchased and installed a ReadyLift 2” leveling kit through my Ford dealer. Yep, they also did the alignment and adjusted the headlights. I like it, a little bit of rake, just like I wanted.

Thinking of having the same thing done. Does it handle any different and if I may ask how much did it cost?? Thanks

Installed a Softopper. Still need to get thicker weather striping and work through Velcro vs Snap issues with the flaps, but still happy with it

The wiring comes in/out of the cab through a strain-relief, which are my favourite grommets to use. I am tucking this module into a dead space under the back seat, beside the plastic insert for under-seat storage.

Was this an existing grommet or a grommet you added? I'm considering ways to get ham radio power/antenna in and out of the cab and without introducing leaks from weather/watercrossings.

I added this one. Paid a few bucks for this at Home Depot.
This area had a good flat spot I could use. Could reach it with a step drill from inside the truck. It comes out above the frame, safely out of the way of danger and easy enough to reach and work with.

Something similar to this:

It cost $480 installed that’s including the alignment after and getting the headlights adjusted. The dealer did give me a 5% military discount.

It rides great and seems to have gotten some of the bounce out of the front. Just my humble two cents. I haven’t been off road in any capacity yet.

Thanks. Where did you punch through?

On my crew-cab, driver’s side, under the back seat. Remove the trim by the door sill. Where the carpet goes from horizontal to vertical - pull the carpet up. You will see a large hole in the stamped seat support. Through that hole, you can see the floorpan. I drilled through right there.

Here is one picture. I’ll see if I can get a pic from a bit further back for better perspective.

Joined the desticker club…

Looks good and that is the best color for a Ranger, although I am biased since it is the color or ours.

Got the Ranger a new garage-mate today, traded the wife's 17 Escape for a 21 Escape. This one's Star White, her old one was Platinum White. But I see they are chiseling cost and features all over at Ford...Old vs new - lost the engine cover, a driver's seat rear pouch, and a cargo cover! Same trim levels, both Titanium. That's all I found so far, and of course, it doesn't have bed tie-downs...
I'm really surprised at the fraternity (if I can use this term here) on this forum...like I told a certain Gregg from Loiusville (where these Scapes are made)...in my early teens I had a Honda 90 and their jingle was "you meet the nicest people on a Honda"... but I think you meet the nicest people on this Ranger Forum!

Sharpe looking, I like what they did to the front this year. Enjoy.

Thanks to the forum. I deflated my tires from the factory 44-41 PSI to Ford’s recommended 30PSI

This may be a better perspective. The part I made will actually tuck into the opening.

OK - Nice...now I get it. Hopefully that was a picture you already had ;-)

So the module goes on that opening and the grommet is inside that opening going to the underside of the truck above frame level?
